The Ramen Burger’s Here for a While

So that ramen burger—the one from Smorgasburg with the compressed noodle bun—it’s not just at
Smorgasburg anymore. For the next month, they’ll have a new version each week at the ramen temple that is
Dassara. The first one’s topped with pork belly. Which... of course.

The New Place to Be in Meatpacking

When a brand-new den of hedonism... with an Edgar Allan Poe theme... starts a new monthly party series...
inspired by French film noir... and they request your presence... it’s best not to say no. So don’t.

Maybe the Best Views in Town. With Beer.

Stunning views of the GW bridge. More than two dozen beers. A sweeping alfresco setup in a state park on the
Hudson. Chicken. Waffles. Stop us when something doesn’t sound good. All of it’s... admittedly very
uptown at Riverbank Grill. Because that’s where they put those things.

... and it pares the store’s famous 20 miles of books down to the essentials. Like signed Mailer first
editions. And leather Damien Hirst photo collections. And an embossed-cover version of Breakfast of
Champions. Doesn’t read right if it’s not embossed leather.

Saturday

HIGH STANDARD

The Standard Biergarten Does Oktoberfest

Oh right, Oktoberfest. You almost forgot. As penance, you should probably take down some cheddar kurtwurst
and grüner veltliner at the Standard Biergarten. On Saturday, there’ll be a live German band to heartily
and efficiently encourage your beer consumption.
